Hello and welcome…. It’s not summer here but always a great day for a popsicle or ice cream. The other night when Cody and Amelia and all those sweet babies came over. Papa brought out popsicles I had previously bought for Ledger and Riggs when they had stayed a week with us. Oh my goodness what a surprise and a great treat for them. Brooks wanted more. It was so cute. Reminded me of Riggs always wanting another one. Not to mention Colten as well. Colten once said “I think I will have an ice cream cone.” It was Easter and everyone who needed a new bike had got one. I remember a lot of bikes. That picture is on regular film. He hadn’t even been on the bike but like 10 seconds. We all still laugh at that. So instead of being in the moment of the new bikes he was thinking of those yummy Schwans ice cream cones. We used to always have Schwans delivery. We had been customers since 1995 but in the last few years we’ve been unable to have any deliveries due to budget. All my children have grown up with Schwans ice cream. Living rural it can be difficult to get ice cream home especially in the south. The popsicles I actually bought I had seen my old driver at a neighbors house and I stopped to get those bomb pops. As we called them. I think they call them firecrackers or patriot pops. When I was kid they also came in banana and chocolate. I always got that one.
Look at that sneaky happy face on Brooks. Baker is just enjoying the moment.
Oh I know you can taste that sweetness of that cold brain freezing popsicle.
Here is Ledger at our home in NC they enjoyed them too. Always a popsicle at grandmas house.
We had seen this ice cream truck at Jacksonville Beach while we were visiting with Amanda. The bomb pop is on the door of the converted ambulance truck.
Skylar aka Skybear. It’s not a popsicle but I had made everyone at cake at the house Bruce was working on in Cape Hatteras, NC. She wanted to lick the beaters and the spatula. I have a video of her when Dusty was saying can have some? Skylar was shaking her head no. She was like two then. Here she is four. She had stayed with us while mom was deployed to German, that time.

Kim sends me the pictures so I don’t know all th details but I do know that it looks super delicious.
This was when we were in Canada 🇨🇦 we stopped and had ice cream. It was a great experience and a delightful place. The ice cream was amazing.
Samantha enjoyed this blue ice cream and I do remember her tongue turned blue. When I was a kid my aunt and grandmother on my mom’s side lived in WW1 housing and right across from the Colonial Grocery Store and a Highs Ice Cream shop. I would cross this major highway and go and buy a .25 cent ice cream I would get bubble gum flavored. Sometimes I would get a red white and blue one it was around 1976 so Bicentennial memorabilia was everywhere. I even had a red white and blue banana seat bicycle. I rode everywhere. Even places I had no business being there. I was quite the explorer. Curious!!
Dakota looks like she got the same ice cream.
Dusty had a custard cup in the Outerbanks of NC. We went there every time we were there at one time we had a camper at the campground. We would get the vanilla custard with rainbow sprinkles. My mouth is watering thinking of it.
Here are Dusty and Cooper when we had gone to Florida to visit Amanda for her wedding to Chad. We walked around St. Augustine visiting the shops and enjoying the beautiful views. Well we were broke just getting to come to Florida we had cashed in our Rufus “piggy” bank which is really a dog. Amanda told us we could “hock” some jams along the way. Which didn’t happen. We just needed enough money to have gas money. We brought our food which is a normal occurrence unless we have to fly or get on a cruise ship. So we good just needed money for fuel. Gas prices were around $2.80 cents per gallon in 2015. Well the boys had run ahead of us and had got to the ice cream shop where everyone in our group had gone thru the line as we were walking coming to them. Here were Dusty and Cooper sitting with no ice cream. My mother and stepfather had gone thru the line and didn’t buy them any ice cream. As we were getting ready to open the door of the shop Chad had taken them up to the counter and bought them ice cream. I was so upset over the fact that my mother couldn’t buy them an ice cream. While they both sat there eating ice cream. It made me cry later. Because who does that to kids. On our way back home we had stopped at a rest stop to use our jetboil to cook a meal. A couple came up and asked us could they get $10 dollars for gas. Bruce said I don’t know if we can spare it. I pulled out $20 bucks for them and said get you some gas and maybe a little snack. Then I reminded Bruce of what goes around comes around.

| Look how happy Cooper was….. with the ice cream that almost wasn’t. Thank you Chad for saving the day. My boys appreciated it. |
This is Samantha when she was at my house in NC with one of those “ice cream cones” that Colten was talking about. I always had these on hand as well. I miss my ice cream suppliers. Too cute.
This little ice cream tip was in my pictures I must of got it off of Pinterest years ago. I wish I had known that earlier in my life. Great tip!!! Thanks to whoever made that post.
Today I was in a slump it seems I have this bottled up energy and the weather is just not cooperating with me being outside. Too much snow and ice and extreme temperatures. I have been watercoloring. The 100 day project which is getting to be 20 days in today. Yay! Five more days will be a 1/4 of the way finished. Toot!! Beep!! I love the painting for today however it seemed like I just couldn’t get there. Colby went to buy dog food for me tonight and I asked for some of those gluten free crackers and a goat cheese for a snack. We have been watching a few shows. Nurse Jackie and Versailles. Well I better stop working on the blog for today. See you tomorrow. Much love and hugs.
Good vibes,
Dawn Gallop
